    People say that French men were especially romantic. After hearing the account of French-raised Stephen Huynh’s (黃長興) marriage proposal, perhaps everyone will agree as well. Stephen dated his girlfriend from outside the entertainment circle, Peggy, for three years and realized that she was his ideal marriage partner.

    Four months ago, when Stephen heard that Peggy agreed to attend a friend’s wedding in Toronto, Canada, he started planning his marriage proposal. Stephen even hired a production company and thirty actors. Stephen and Peggy went on a helicopter ride before he presented her with a banner, “Marry Me”! Witnessed by 16 of their good friends, Peggy tearfully accepted the marriage proposal.

    Holding Peggy’s hand in an interview with Mingpao Weekly, Stephen recounted his marriage proposal two weeks ago in Toronto, “When Peggy agreed to be a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding in Toronto, I started preparing for the marriage proposal at the time. Since I have never traveled to Toronto and could not let Peggy be aware of my plans, I was afraid to discuss with her about the upcoming trip. I looked for a production company based in Toronto and arranged for 30 actors to participate in my self-directed story.

    “First I planted a Canadian couple to share the helicopter ride with us, as well as a cameraman to photograph the process. Under my plan, the Canadian couple was going to take wedding photos as they exchanged words of love with each other, followed by an argument. To show his sincerity, the man asked the woman to look down at the ground, upon which there was a large banner with the words, ‘Marry Me.’ When the helicopter landed on the ground, a staff worker grabbed Peggy’s hand to walk forward. Peggy felt surprised as she was not the intended bride, until the music started and she discovered that the bottom portion of the banner had her name written on it.

    “Sixteen of our friends rushed forward and helped Peggy put on a prepared bridal gown, upon which I also changed into a suit and appeared. Peggy was crying uncontrollably when I said, ‘During our dating period of three years, I have experienced true happiness. I sincerely hope that our happiness will last forever!’ I knelt on the ground and took out the diamond ring, ‘Would you marry me?’ Peggy continued to cry and I had to ask twice before she said, ‘Yes.’” Stephen laughed and revealed that when he saw Peggy crying, he also shed a few tears. Fortunately, Stephen was wearing sunglasses at the time and his tears were not captured on camera.

    Proposal Threatened by Unexpected Disruptions

    The proposal was romantic and moving, but Stephen revealed that the plan was nearly disrupted, “My first choice for the production company suddenly raised their initial fee from approximately $10,000 HKD to over $30,000 HKD in early September. At the last minute, I had to ask a friend for a referral and there was still enough time to make the change. The second challenge was to coordinate with all our friends. I came up with the entire plan, in which Peggy and I would take a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls. But Peggy complained that the price for the helicopter ride was too expensive! I was very afraid at the moment; if she refused to go on the helicopter, what would I do? I cannot show my concern; otherwise, it would be too obvious. I was very nervous. Arriving in Canada, Peggy had parties with her friends for two days while I secretly met with the production company and arrived at the launching site of the helicopter ride to survey the details. When Peggy was with me, I could only secretly talk to the production company while in the bathroom.”

    Sitting next to Stephen, Peggy interjected, “No wonder when we were in Canada and I wanted to make a few long-distance phone calls, Stephen looked so nervous since he was hiding something!”

    Speaking of his fiancée, Stephen was full of praises, “Peggy is a truly wonderful person and treats me well, supporting me in everything I do. For example, she will teach me Cantonese to improve my onscreen dialogue delivery and even rehearse the script with me. When I started my restaurant business, Peggy helped me in all manners although she was not used to heavy physical work. Since I found the right person, then I need to treasure her and quickly start a family!

    “Some people may say that if an actor were to get married, his career will be impacted in some aspect. If this were the case, then I need to work even harder to establish greater skills and be a healthy person. When I was living in France, many people married at a young age. At the time, I wished to get married at the age of 25-years-old. Now I am 33-years-old, which is a bit later already.”
